"In this little known work (Haig-Brown's first book, written in 1931), we learn of the life of Silver, an Atlantic salmon whose birth, growth, spawning and death are told with touching simplicity. Appearing at intervals throughout the story is the "Good Fisherman," who pursues the salmon less for sport than to forge a kinship with this noble creature of the wild".
